No More Training Wheels


Friday night Brynn grabbed one of Dana's wrenches and with only a bit of Dad's help, once again took off her training wheels. Clara never wants to be left out, so she got a hold of the wrench when Brynn  was done.

Brynn got discouraged pretty quickly on Friday night, but Saturday, she was up and down the block practicing. Rosha was over to play and has been riding bike without training wheels for a couple of years now and gave Brynn some tips. They must have worked because Brynn really made great progress yesterday. We were so proud of her. I should have gotten some video, but here is one pic of her going all on her own....with the look of determination! Today she was whizzing back and forth on the sidewalk, no problem. Now I am concerned she's going too fast! PSA disclaimer: Right after I took this pic, she put her helmet on. :-) She has been waiting to learn without training wheels so she can upgrade to a bigger bike, which she desperately needs. 


Brynn was pretty hungry for supper after that all playing with Rosha and bike riding. We got our fav Chinese food from Lucy's. Brynn thought skewers made good chopsticks. :-) 



 Reading a book and having a popcorn snack before bed last night. She asked me to put her hair in braids so her hair would be wavy for the first day back at Sunday School today. Brynn was extra excited to start this year, as I am co-teaching now for the first time.  I was a little nervous about the group and what the kids would be like...if they'd be well behaved and what not. I think it will be a great year; the kids were so sweet today. We lucked out with a good bunch.


sweet dreams

Crazy Clara. She sure loves to sit in her chair. And cuddle Little Critter, too.

More Graduations + Start of Summer

A couple of weekends ago Clara had a very busy, but fun Saturday with her friend Cora and her sister, Violet. The sisters' dad took them to the Breakfast on the Farm near Hawley (We had gone many years ago. Clara was so little, she didn't remember it.)   They also stopped at the dirt track races on their way back into town and then Dana met up with them at MSUM so they could go to the oceanarium there. We had never been before, but it was on our "Moorhead List" of fun things to do in the 56560 zip code. So, check! Out on side-by-side rides any chance we get. We parked on Sunset Road, as we've dubbed it, to watch the sun go down. There is usually one or two other cars parked on this low maintenance road whenever we venture down there. Clara into her granny hobbies. :-) We attended the last of this year's graduation parties over the weekend. I went to one in town on Friday night and then Clara and I stopped at Karlie's party near Fergus Falls on our way to Z...

Easter + April Birthdays

 The girls had Thursday, Friday and Monday off from school for the Easter break. So, Dana and I took most of the same time off (work) to match.  Always reading. 💜 Hanging out with Brynn. 💗 Dana and I went on a Costco date. We tried our hand at homemade ravioli again. I think it went a bit more smoothly compared to last time. Hubert's sister Abby stopped by for a visit. We hadn't seen her in a long time and so it was fun to have her We celebrated Dana's birthday and kicked it off with some Sandy's donuts. I don't recall what was so funny. haha. Clara's card. Birthday King Clara dyed eggs. I baked a birthday cake for Dana, messed it up getting it out of the pans, and Clara somehow cobbled it together into a masterpiece. Dana chose Lucky 13's for dinner out. On Saturday we packed up to hit up Oliver's birthday party before we went on to Dead Lake for Easter. Oliver is 9!

Fourth of July 2025

We were able to spend the Fourth at Tamarac again this year, with my sister and her family.  We arrived just in time for Brynn to change into her tennis outfit for the boat parade float. Their theme was sports this year. Clara and Oliver caught candy from the dock. This was the first Fourth of July holiday spent at my sister and Chad's own cabin on the same lake that Chad's parents have their cabin. Clara brought my mom one of her favs, Tootsie Roll. We were also celebrating Mom's freedom this holiday...from working on the Fourth! For the past how many years, Mom has had to work the Fourth of July parade back home in Carrington. However, this year as she is preparing to retire and training in her replacement, she gave the parade reins to her successor. It was great to have both Mom and Dad spend the Fourth with all of us together. It was just like old times when we all gathered at Terry and Wanda's for lunch though. I made a new recipe for dessert: red, white and blue c...
